During the timeout, however, the officials suddenly get together and after a brief discussion and with no explanation whatsoever, they changed the call to a two, leaving us down 1. We lost by 3. If it wasn't a 3-pointer then why did the referees count the goal then wait halfway through a timeout before inexplicably changing it to a 2?

I agree with JR, but I can explain one aspect of your story.

I talk about this in almost all Pre-game conferences with my fellow officials. One official might think that he was behind the line and signals as such and another official had knowledge that it was not correct, then he informed him of such. Then they change it. But what is usually normal and discussed in my area, is for the officials that sees that the shooter had the foot on the line or clearly saw the player behind the line, we change it on the spot. They might have done the right thing, but it does look bad. One of the reasons the procedure I just described to you is more acceptable where I live. So basically that is the best I can do. Only the officials can tell you why it was actually changed or what they saw.

Peace
